About Potted meat

Potted meat is a preserved meat product often made from finely chopped or pureed beef, pork, chicken, or a combination of these, blended with salt, sugar, spices, and preservatives. Originating from a tradition of preserving meat for extended periods, it is common in Southern U.S. cuisine and similar to other spreadable meat products found globally. This shelf-stable item is typically packaged in small tins and served as a quick spread for crackers, sandwiches, or toast. While potted meat is high in protein, it is also notable for its high sodium and fat content, often containing additives like modified starch or sodium nitrite. Its convenience and affordability make it a popular choice, though it is best consumed in moderation due to its low nutritional density compared to fresh or minimally processed options.
